Joint Injections

Struggling with joint pain that interferes with your daily activities? At Avenida Medical Centre, we offer in-office joint injections in Calgary to help reduce inflammation, relieve discomfort, and restore mobility—without the need for surgery or long recovery times.

Whether you’re dealing with arthritis, overuse injuries, or lingering pain from past injuries, our experienced physicians provide safe and effective treatments tailored to your needs.

What Are Joint Injections?

Joint injections are minimally invasive procedures that deliver anti-inflammatory or lubricating medication directly into the affected joint. These injections are commonly used to treat:

• Knee pain from osteoarthritis
• Shoulder inflammation or rotator cuff pain
• Hip joint discomfort
• Elbow (tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow)
• Ankle or wrist joint stiffness
• Bursitis or tendonitis

Joint injections help reduce swelling, ease pain, and improve joint function—especially when other conservative treatments like medication or physical therapy haven’t provided enough relief.

Types of Injections We Offer:

• Corticosteroid Injections Fast-acting anti-inflammatory injections to reduce pain and swelling in joints affected by arthritis, bursitis, or repetitive strain injuries.
• Viscosupplementation (Hyaluronic Acid) Commonly used for knee osteoarthritis, this treatment helps cushion and lubricate the joint, improving mobility and comfort over time.
• Trigger Point InjectionsUsed to relieve muscle knots or spasms that contribute to joint and soft tissue pain. Our family physicians will assess your condition and recommend the most appropriate option for your specific symptoms and activity level.
